The names of different rooms and areas are words related to sugar cane and sugar production, for example Banquet hall Melaço (syrup/molasses), Bar Trapiche (a small sugar mill), Sala Canavial (cane plantation) or Restaurant Engenho (a mill). On the ground floor, there is also Galeria 1425- a museum hall that can be rented for private conferences or celebrations, and a small shop where you can buy rum and honey cakes.
The hotel was designed by none other than Nini Andrade Silva, born in Madeira, but known and appreciated around the world painter and architect. Her name might sound familiar because of the Design Centre Nini Andrade Silva – a beautiful centre of art and restaurant in the Port of Funchal, proudly located at the top of the fort de Nossa Senhora da Conceição.
It was Nini who designed, among many others, The Vine Hotel in Funchal and the new Savoy Palace Hotel. Personally, I am a big fan of her style.
Saccharum is a new hotel, it opened only 3 years ago and will be a great place for your stay in Madeira. I would recommend it especially for couples who like modern interiors, contemporary designs, who are looking for space, privacy and beautiful views. It is a luxurious, five-star hotel where you can truly relax.
